I've never participated in such a thing before but I see this site has done so before, in at least 2012 and 2013; but is it something that is available this year?

I was going to post two opposite answers and hope for votes - but then I realised that this sort of action for the previous year's question/answerers could be seen as a cheap shot at boosting reputation... so I will just leave it unanswered and invite comments instead. {Of course if anyone wishes to reward this modesty I won't object.} With no reputation to work for on the Meta Exchange: sod it, go on and vote...! 8->

    The moderator emails were sent out today (they ask us if we want to participate), so we'll discuss it and reply shortly. My guess is yes we will be participating :)

    p.s. meta votes don't really mean anything, and they don't count toward your site rep ;)

    Um, I wasn't meaning to tread on anyone's toes, 8-O . I thought if any others wanted to comment / express their opinions this would do (I thought the discussion tag would be relevant for this); also I was following the example of jandjorgensen's post for 2013...

  • ... no offense (and none taken). I am just curious and have no idea whether the hat situation thingy is up to the vote or not ;)

  • @Jivings After a week, is there any sign of a "reply shortly"?

I suggest you vote for this answer to say "I would like to have the chance to earn/gain a short-term, pointless, but perhaps fun, extra graphic on my Avatar for the next month or so until some time in January 2016."

  • Well Cardiomegaly doesn't sound like fun - though that is not the same as being big-hearted I suppose. 8-P

"What a load of old-hat - just because some, possibly juvenile users of some other Stack Exchange communities want to play around with ephemeral, meaningless, eye-candy, this is not relevant to me and my interests, even if it is Christmas.

Bah Humbug!"
